Poisoning by oth psychostimulants, self-harm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or complication arising from a deliberate overdose or self-poisoning with psychostimulants other than amphetamines or methylphenidate. It indicates that the patient is now experiencing residual effects directly attributable to that past intentional self-harm event. These sequelae can range from neurological damage to organ dysfunction or psychological impacts.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition or symptom that is a direct result of a previous, intentional self-harm event involving psychostimulants (excluding amphetamines and methylphenphenidate). This applies when the acute poisoning event has resolved, but its lasting effects are still being treated or monitored. It is typically used in conjunction with codes for the specific sequela being treated.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) describing the specific sequela being treated.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past intentional psychostimulant self-poisoning.
• Distinguish from acute poisoning events, which would use the acute poisoning code for intentional self-harm.
